    Don’t look at the answer starting from capitalism and working backwards.

    I’ll be looking at what modern political and economic science tells us if you don’t mind.

    My whole point is that saying that “capitalism gave us political power” is the too simple answer.

    Yes, because we’re on a forum. This is not a place to write long essays and lecture people as if they came to you, begging for knowledge. In fact, I think it’s arrogant and disrespectful to treat people like that. Especially if we consider the fact that I’ve already agreed with you that this process was not simple and it isn’t certainly good or bad. It feels like you didn’t even read my post.

    “the system we have right now is the best and is what caused good things”.

    it posits capitalism as this objective good

    I’ve never said any of that. I think that you have a lot of ideas and impressions from other arguments that you’ve been involved in. And you keep arguing with these ideas, adding more to what I said than there was. I’m not really interested in that kind of a conversation, sorry. I see that this topic bothers you, but please entertain yourself not at my expense.
